Chapter 21-The Renaissance In Quattrocento Italy (post 2)
The ceiling of the Camera Picta is absolutely beautiful in its incorporation of nature and perspective. I also appreciate the fact that in addition to the naturalistic (the sky and the curvature of the people's bodies, for instance) approach, the artist also incorporated symbols belonging to the supernatural/mythological (angels and Juno's peacock) realms.
